Boo- I agree a 32 with 700 mercs and 6s would be awesome, then u could also upgrade the 700s to go faster if u want, don't know your budget but I would have Blume build u a 357 with 700s!

Thanks offshoresteve! Boo, Once you go Ilmors, you'll never go back! I was a merc guy for 25 + years, I suggest you do an Ilmor factory tour in Michigan, the level of technology and engineering know how is very impressive. Most don't know that Ilmor builds all the Indy car engines and rebuilds between races. The 700 Ilmor is more fuel efficient, reliable and has a longer rebuild interval than mercury 700's. And they run great!

I know that boat, saw it in Loto 2 years ago, I remember when it was all white and up for sale, thought it was an 04? Anyhow, how fast is it?

For the part on the video, prob around 120ish once we were done with our photo shoot line up. I had a couple passengers on board and was running a little tight for a nice smooth ride.

Ilmor is great, they go above and beyond the call of duty! They will work with you to hook you up and get you what you need. The best thing about the engines is that they are Rock solid and dependable. No blower means less moving parts to break down.
